Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Did we settle on a pull question? Mclov Yeah,
Speaker 1: we ask which team should stick with their current quarterback?
Speaker 1: Not who will, but who should? The forty nine Ers,
Speaker 1: the Jets, the Falcons, and I put the Patriots in
Speaker 1: there with Cam because of the rumors that they could
Speaker 1: deal for Jimmy g I'm just wondering what the Jets
Speaker 1: do because nobody thinks that they're not taking Zach Wilson.
Speaker 1: At what point do you lose the leverage of trading
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold that before the draft, I guess, or do
Speaker 1: wait till after the draft to see how teams fared
Speaker 1: in the draft. Chris Simms here to answer all those questions.
Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk Live co host. Let me start with
Speaker 1: the obvious one. What does it mean to be a
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan quarterback? Chris Well, I think when you talk
Speaker 1: about a Kyle Shanahan quarterback, you're talking about a guy
Speaker 1: who can process as an information, you know, at a
Speaker 1: really quick rate, knows where to go with the ball
Speaker 1: off of that decision making, and then has the athleticism
Speaker 1: to run the boots and the play action passes. But
Speaker 1: I think more than anything, it's being able to take
Speaker 1: in the clues of what Shanahan can deliver to you
Speaker 1: as a quarterback and go, listen, I'm a mad scientist.
Speaker 1: I've got us in this formation, and I know they're
Speaker 1: gonna play one of these two defenses. If you just
Speaker 1: listen to me and read this guy on this play,
Speaker 1: I'll get A and B open. You just gotta read
Speaker 1: this guy and take to my coaching. And I think
Speaker 1: that's what really Kyle Shanahan looks for at the quarterback
Speaker 1: position more than anything. It looks like you doubled down
Speaker 1: this morning on Mac Jones. You tweeted out Kyle Shanahan
Speaker 1: gets the most out of quarterbacks who trust his is
Speaker 1: to make the right reads. Matt Shop two thousand and nine,
Speaker 1: passing Champ kirk Cousins in Washington. Matt Ryan twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: MVP Mac Jones is an ideal quarterback for that mold
Speaker 1: more on par with Matt Ryan. Now is just a
Speaker 1: report or an opinion? No, this is an opinion. You know, listen,
Speaker 1: Kyle's a really good friend. There's no doubt he's not
Speaker 1: sitting here telling me his draft plans and what he
Speaker 1: thinks he's gonna do at number three or uh No,
Speaker 1: I have not flat out asked him. Um, you know
Speaker 1: I text him things Dan like congrats on the move,
Speaker 1: you know, way to go happy, you know, hope it
Speaker 1: all went the way you want. That's where that conversation goes. Now,
Speaker 1: Like am I I'm a good friend. We talk about
Speaker 1: football a lot, and I would be shocked if I
Speaker 1: didn't have a pretty good feel for what he likes
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. Okay, you've been tweeting, as Kyle
Speaker 1: Shanahan commented on your tweets. Now, I know he is
Speaker 1: not he is, and nor did I think he's even
Speaker 1: He's probably oblivious to anything I've said or wrote on
Speaker 1: social media or anything like that. But you know, this is,
Speaker 1: you know, twenty years of me knowing a guy, a
Speaker 1: guy that, yes, I talk a lot of football with
Speaker 1: all of the time. Right, We talk about quarterbacks a lot, offseason,
Speaker 1: regular season, whenever it may be. And I would just
Speaker 1: have a hard time thinking it's not Mac Jones at
Speaker 1: number three. I really would, one because of what Shanahan likes.
Speaker 1: And then two you know, yeah, I'm taking it into
Speaker 1: you know, you know, I think Zach Wilson's a number
Speaker 1: one quarterback in the draft. But I still think Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence is going to go to Jacksonville. I think the
Speaker 1: Jets will go to Zach Wilson now totally one hundred
Speaker 1: percent confirmed after that workout on Friday, and then when
Speaker 1: I look at it and go all right, now, Shanahan
Speaker 1: at forty nine ers or at three, that to me
Speaker 1: is Mac Jones to make that move. We know it's
Speaker 1: a quarterback, but I just think fields and lands have
Speaker 1: work in front of them. There's some polish, there's some
Speaker 1: you know, some things they need to work on, and
Speaker 1: you don't trade up nine spots to get a quarterback
Speaker 1: that has things to work on. And that's why I
Speaker 1: think it's Mac Jones. Okay, So what's Jimmy G's future.
Speaker 1: I would think, I mean, they got two options. They
Speaker 1: could keep him right and then go where I will
Speaker 1: wait for Mac Jones to, you know, come along and
Speaker 1: give him a year on the bench. But I think,
Speaker 1: as I said to Mike Floria to day, that's risky.
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers, you see them, they got a
Speaker 1: good team, they almost they were in the playoff hunt
Speaker 1: last year. But the most injuries in the history of
Speaker 1: the NFL. So you go with Jimmy Garoppolo and what
Speaker 1: go you know, twelve and four or something like that.
Speaker 1: What does that do to your thnumber three pick? So
Speaker 1: I would think ultimately that Jimmy g is put on
Speaker 1: the trade block and that Mac Jones would be the
Speaker 1: starter or whoever they pick at number three going into
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one season, twelve and five, maybe because
Speaker 1: they're seventeen. You're right, I gotta get I used to
Speaker 1: say seven and nine, eight, eight. If all goes well,
Speaker 1: nine and seven, I gotta change. Chris oh Man, Okay,
Speaker 1: what do the Jets do? At what point do they
Speaker 1: lose their leverage here in trying to get something for
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold if they're taking Zach Wilson, right, I heard you.
Speaker 1: I heard you say that before I came out. That's
Speaker 1: a good question. I mean, you don't hurt your leverage
Speaker 1: as long as there's more than one team that can
Speaker 1: get involved in the conversation as far as trading. Right
Speaker 1: right now, I can look at two teams to go.
Speaker 1: I think there's legitimate and maybe there's three teams because
Speaker 1: we don't know. I don't think the Russell Wilson staying
Speaker 1: in Seattle is one hundred percent. Yet I think we
Speaker 1: should watch these final five weeks. But I look at
Speaker 1: Carolina and the Denver Broncos as two places where I
Speaker 1: still think are looking for a quarterback. I do. Carolina.
Speaker 1: I mean, hey, we know they've given us all the
Speaker 1: signals that they're trying to find an upgrade from Teddy Bridgewater.
Speaker 1: The Denver Broncos, I'd be hard pressed with Vic Fangios,
Speaker 1: but probably on the line, you're just gonna roll out
Speaker 1: the red carpet and go I'm going down with Drew Locke.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I'd at least have somebody there to compete
Speaker 1: or Okay, he didn't play well the first three weeks,
Speaker 1: here's another guy. So that would be the thing I
Speaker 1: would look at right now, because yes, I do think
Speaker 1: the Jets are gonna go Zach Wilson and hopefully they
Speaker 1: can have a market for Sam Darnin and get what
Speaker 1: they what they see is worth for him. So if
Speaker 1: we have quarterbacks going one two three, one out one
Speaker 1: two three four with Atlanta, a lot of people think that,
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of people in the NFL
Speaker 1: that think Atlanta is hot on Trey Lance and might
Speaker 1: take him number four. I mean again, I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 1: I would not you know, I've discussed with you a little.
Speaker 1: I think with Trey Lance there is some elite traits,
Speaker 1: There's no doubt. I mean, his speed and his arm
Speaker 1: strength are wow. But there's a lot of other things
Speaker 1: that I question, and that to me doesn't scream the
Speaker 1: number four pick. But I think if you talk to
Speaker 1: a lot of people in the know around the NFL,
Speaker 1: they think Atlanta's hot on Trey Lance. And you know, again,
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna be a mad at a team if
Speaker 1: they think that's their guy and they're sold on that.
Speaker 1: To me, I would just go, what what are you
Speaker 1: sold on? Quite yet? There? He didn't play last year,
Speaker 1: he didn't throw a lot the year before, and there's
Speaker 1: some things in the throwing that I would say I
Speaker 1: just don't feel one hundred percent comfortable with right now too.
Speaker 1: And you still think Zach Wilson is going to be
Speaker 1: a better pro than Trevor Lawrence. I do, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm you know, we talk about the Pro day right
Speaker 1: on Friday. I mean, it was wowing the degree of
Speaker 1: difficulty of those throws. And then the way in which
Speaker 1: he passed the test was wowing not to say other
Speaker 1: quarterbacks can do that. I get that, you know. But
Speaker 1: but but here's the thing. This is where people are
Speaker 1: missing this. They're going, you know, I hear somebody, well
Speaker 1: it's it's a workout. Who cares, it's it's no big deal. Well,
Speaker 1: first thing I would say is when the film matches
Speaker 1: the workout, then you go, oh, okay, wait, there's something there.
Speaker 1: I see all these throws on film, and now he
Speaker 1: doesn't a workout and does it easily. Second of all,
Speaker 1: there's maybe more pressure to doing it in that environment
Speaker 1: than there is a game. A game, you're reacting, you're
Speaker 1: doing what you have to do. At a workout, you're
Speaker 1: basically putting yourself out there, you know, and you miss
Speaker 1: four or five of those throws, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you go, whoa. You know, I'm trying to be cool
Speaker 1: and do these high level throws, and here I have
Speaker 1: I've thrown five or six in completions, and that can
Speaker 1: you know, snowball out of control. But this guy's so good.
Speaker 1: They just went at it ain't gonna happen. It doesn't
Speaker 1: matter if it was so easy. Why doesn't everybody do
Speaker 1: this at their pro day? Right? That's where I want
Speaker 1: to say. So there was great confidence that even on
Speaker 1: his worst day, they felt like he could still pass
Speaker 1: it with flying colors. And I think that's what maybe
Speaker 1: people are missing. Not to say it translates a definite awesomeness.
Speaker 1: I know, you got to play the game on the field,
Speaker 1: but that still was an awesome workout. Talking to Chris Sims,
Speaker 1: Pro Football Time Talk Live co host with Mike Florio. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'll go back to Zach Wilson. You know, that's
Speaker 1: the impact of Patrick Mahomes. That workout was to say,
Speaker 1: this is the new quarterback Mahomes those were this a
Speaker 1: new phrase, Mahomesian throws. That that's what Zach Wilson did.
Speaker 1: He gave you Mahomesian throws. I agree, that's the Mahomes effect.
Speaker 1: It's the Mahomes, the Rogers, you know. You know, I
Speaker 1: feel like Mahomes affected Josh Allen, you know, and now
Speaker 1: you're gonna see, yeah, more and more of these quarterbacks
Speaker 1: trying to be this type of football player, you know
Speaker 1: one because the game's wide open right now. In a
Speaker 1: lot of ways, the quarterbacks are as talented as we've
Speaker 1: ever seen. And what it really shows, and like we
Speaker 1: see with Mahomes on the field, and I think was
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson showing you is going, hey, yeah, I can
Speaker 1: hit the open curl in the open out route. But
Speaker 1: look when it's third and fourteen and we're not playing
Speaker 1: our best, look what else I can do? Oh the
Speaker 1: past protection is not good or nobody's open. Look, I
Speaker 1: could still get it done, guys, even when things aren't perfect.
Speaker 1: And I think you're totally right. That is the Mahomesian effect.
Speaker 1: And I would think as the years ago, we're to
Speaker 1: see more and more of these type of workouts and
Speaker 1: quarterbacks come up the ranks. I also wonder about wide
Speaker 1: receivers here with Davante Smith Jamar Chase that it feels
Speaker 1: like jamarch I was told from two months ago a
Speaker 1: scout said he like Jamar Chase over Davonte Smith. Miami
Speaker 1: is now out of that position. To take Davanta Smith
Speaker 1: at number three doesn't mean they still can't but handicap
Speaker 1: those two. If you're the Bengals, do you reunite Jamar
Speaker 1: Chase with Joe Burrow? And if you're Miami, you're still
Speaker 1: trying to reunite Davontae Smith with two A Tonga Bloa.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm thinking about it either way. And you know, again,
Speaker 1: like you talked about, I think Miami, they did a
Speaker 1: great job of kind of putting themselves in a spot
Speaker 1: where you basically go, oh, they should get at least
Speaker 1: one of those two guys no matter what at number six,
Speaker 1: or Kyle Pitts out of Florida or Kyle Pitts out
Speaker 1: of Farida, right, which is not going to be bad either. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you really have to make that pick going or make
Speaker 1: that trade going. Wait, you know out of there's three
Speaker 1: guys like that will be happy with that are right there,
Speaker 1: you know, DeVante Smith and Jamar Chase. I went into
Speaker 1: the process Dan thinking Jamar Chase was gonna be the
Speaker 1: clear number one. When I watched the film, I went
Speaker 1: WHOA Like that was? That was? You know, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, like buy a hair. I would take Jamar
Speaker 1: Chase over Damante Smith. It's like one A and one B.
Speaker 1: They're both really talented football players. I do wonder what
Speaker 1: the Bengals at five. You know, they have decent receivers,
Speaker 1: no doubt. They got Higgins at the top. Of the
Speaker 1: first round last year. You know, pass protection is a
Speaker 1: thing for them too. Would they go old line there?
Speaker 1: I don't know. It'd be interesting because they could add
Speaker 1: another weapon to the arsenal and be real scary that way.
Speaker 1: But I do think at least as assures that the
Speaker 1: Dolphins get a weapon there. And I don't think you
Speaker 1: can go wrong. You know, Dan, everybody talking about DeVante Smith?
Speaker 1: Is he big enough and all that. I'd be concerned
Speaker 1: if the film showed me something like that. But man,
Speaker 1: his strength, his route, running his feet and then it
Speaker 1: just pure speed are so special that I don't I
Speaker 1: don't see it being an issue. Do you care about
Speaker 1: the size of a wide receiver as a quarterback? I mean,
Speaker 1: like throwing to a really small receiver down the field
Speaker 1: can be one thing that maybe you care about, right
Speaker 1: like the John Browns of the world. Sometimes throwing them
Speaker 1: a ball downfield when a guy's covered. That's not the
Speaker 1: most comfortable thing in the world. But after that, no,
Speaker 1: you don't really think about it a whole lot. Now,
Speaker 1: as you get to know these guys, you get to
Speaker 1: know what they're radius is and where their window is. Right,
Speaker 1: So where now you go, Oh wait, I'm throwing to
Speaker 1: that guy, and that guy can catch a ball if
Speaker 1: I throw at five feet behind him still, so let
Speaker 1: me be safe and put it there and maybe he
Speaker 1: gets it or no one gets it. That goes through
Speaker 1: your your process when you're throwing as a quarterback in
Speaker 1: the pocket, Dan, would you rather have a wide receiver
Speaker 1: in the top ten or a tight end? Would you
Speaker 1: rather have Jamar Chase or Kyle Pitts or Davanta Smith.
Speaker 1: I would rather have the receiver. I would. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: mean I like pits. They're great weapons. Everything they do.
Speaker 1: I just I mean guys like DeVante Smith and Jamaar
Speaker 1: Chase are game changers. They're home run hitters. Oh, here's
Speaker 1: a reverse seventy yards, here's a slant seventy yards. Oh,
Speaker 1: just run by that guy with pure speed seventy yards.
Speaker 1: And then you know, fifty fifty balls with those type
Speaker 1: of guys are really like seventy thirty type balls. So
Speaker 1: that's where I favor those guys. By the way, mac
Speaker 1: Jones was referred to as subtly athletic today not deceptively,
Speaker 1: but but now he's subtly athletic. I think he's athletic
Speaker 1: for the position. I don't know what, like, is the
Speaker 1: context RG three or is he that measurables that are
Speaker 1: similar to Andrew Luck? And I thought he Andrew Luck
Speaker 1: was athletic. I agree, it's being way too over talked about,
Speaker 1: hyped up of a thing. There's no doubt about it. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: he's not Mahomes or Josh Allen or RG three. Jab
Speaker 1: was Mahomes his forty yard dash? I you know what,
Speaker 1: I don't even know. I would guess it was four
Speaker 1: seven low four seven, So I'm gonna guess. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: was he deceptively athletic? No? You know, And again I'll
Speaker 1: just I'll look it into it and go into it
Speaker 1: too to go wait, you know, Oh, it's one thing
Speaker 1: to say, Chris, what was Mahomes is forty eight? Forty? Oh? Man, Damn?
Speaker 1: I think I might have to pass on him. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the hell with that. Hell with it. Mitchell Trubisky had
Speaker 1: a faster forty yard dash, right, And there's nothing about
Speaker 1: that says Mitchell Trubisky is better in the pocket or
Speaker 1: avoiding people or doing anything like that. Again, it's like
Speaker 1: DeVante Smith Dan. It's like if the film showed me
Speaker 1: that there was issues there, I would go, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: but there's too many great plays of movement in the pocket,
Speaker 1: avoiding people then making great throws or just getting outside
Speaker 1: the po to buy enough time to throw a great
Speaker 1: ball on the run. He's every bit as athletic or
Speaker 1: more athletic than Matt Ryan coming out and other quarterbacks
Speaker 1: like that. That's who he's going to be. It's not
Speaker 1: gonna be Mahomes or Aaron Rodgers or anything like that.
Speaker 1: Good to talk to you, Chris is always We'll keep
Speaker 1: an eye. We love your predictions and thanks man. You know,
Speaker 1: but hey, keep Fritzie off the cookies and cream. Man.
Speaker 1: I mean, he can't be doing that. He can't. I
Speaker 1: you know, I've seen his belly. He can't do that. No, No,
Speaker 1: this's a healthy it's a health bar. This is I'm
Speaker 1: okay with this. Yeah, this is okay. Yeah, he used
Speaker 1: to eat actual cookies and cream. Chris. This is a
Speaker 1: protein bar. It's one of eight, three of the protein
Speaker 1: bars in one sitting. That's what the problem is. Thank you. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: come on, contain yourself. One's enough, Fritzie, come on, thanks man,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Chris. That's Chris Sims from Pro Football Talk Live.

Speaker 1: All Pro Sean Mariner and I have a new sports
Speaker 1: podcast called The lights Out Podcast with Sean Mariner. This
Speaker 1: podcast especial to me is I get a chance to
Speaker 1: talk to some of the best we've ever done it
Speaker 1: on a field or to track. So whether it's talking
Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl champion or a NASCAR Cup Series champion,
Speaker 1: the lights Out Podcast will bring it to you the
Speaker 1: only where I know how to. I'm giving you the
Speaker 1: best insight from the best we've ever done it. Listen
Speaker 1: to Lights Out with Sean Merriman called the iHeartRadio App
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcast. Our conversation with Seth
Speaker 1: Greenberg from the Mother's Ship brought to you by Capitol one.
Speaker 1: What's in your walrant? Got an update on what the
Speaker 1: Niners we're thinking of doing, or they made the trade
Speaker 1: to move up to number three. And it comes back
Speaker 1: to a situation that I told you about a while ago.
Speaker 1: I thought this was the direction they were going to take,
Speaker 1: so I had that for you coming up. But I
Speaker 1: have to get to Seth Greenberg, the former college coach
Speaker 1: ESPN College Basketball analyst kind enough to join us on
Speaker 1: the program. Seth, good morning, Thanks for joining us. Give
Speaker 1: me the most surprising Elite eight team. It's got to
Speaker 1: be Oregon State. Now, it's fun because Ard State's won
Speaker 1: nine of their last ten. But I mean that's a
Speaker 1: team that came in basically sixth place in the Pac twelve.
Speaker 1: That's a team that was picked coming last preseason. That
Speaker 1: was a team that kind of reinvented themselves along the way.
Speaker 1: And it's a great story because Wayne Takele, the coach,
Speaker 1: you know, he had a son for four years, couldn't
Speaker 1: get to the Answer Double Tournament. His son graduates, and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now they're in the tournament. But
Speaker 1: I think it's a great story. It's been fun to
Speaker 1: watch and quite honestly, their team is playing really good basketball,
Speaker 1: not pretty, but winning basketball. The team that didn't advance
Speaker 1: that surprised you the most. The team that did advance
Speaker 1: a surprise most is probably Florida State. Florida State was
Speaker 1: a little bit of a conundrum for maybe because I
Speaker 1: look at Florida State and I see a team in
Speaker 1: the land. I see a team that you know most
Speaker 1: times defense didn't defend yesterday, obviously had a lot of
Speaker 1: different ways to beat you. I just thought their game
Speaker 1: playing yesterday was so different than what I expected. I
Speaker 1: expect him to attack Michael Smith on the block, posting
Speaker 1: up different guys because they have the versatility to do that.
Speaker 1: I thought defensively, early on, you saw that you could
Speaker 1: not attack that ball screen by switching it. Michigan was
Speaker 1: exploiting it, creating matchups all over to Florida. They never
Speaker 1: made a change there. So I was disappointed in Florida State,
Speaker 1: maybe selfishly because I'm a big letter at Hamilton fan
Speaker 1: and I was hoping to see him get a chance
Speaker 1: to play in the Final four because I think he
Speaker 1: has a special team. How does Gonzaga lose if someone
Speaker 1: can get Timmy and foul trouble, you get Timmy and tried.
Speaker 1: You gotta make Timmy defend. I think that's really important.
Speaker 1: Certain things you got to do to beat Gonzaga. You
Speaker 1: gotta take care of the ball, you gotta take goods.
Speaker 1: You got to have a four. I can guard kiss
Speaker 1: Burt and you've got him. Make Timmy defend if you
Speaker 1: make Timmy defend, And that's why Michigan's an interesting matchup
Speaker 1: for them, and even maybe USC. But you know Michigan
Speaker 1: especially because if you make him defend and go ahead him,
Speaker 1: which Michigan can do with the way they play offensively
Speaker 1: playing through him, you take him out. They don't have
Speaker 1: any really replacement for him. Now, look, they get a
Speaker 1: shot up every fourteen seconds. They get the ball and
Speaker 1: Kissburt every time. You should you think it's going in Sugs.
Speaker 1: I think is the number one pick in the draft.
Speaker 1: They play with incredible, incredible flow. But I think that's
Speaker 1: the one way you can get after them is my
Speaker 1: playing for the post. And I'm really interested to see
Speaker 1: what USC does with their length and with the zone,
Speaker 1: their ability to cover, the ability to get some extra shots,
Speaker 1: their quickness. I mean, you're talking about Tima doviagers fifty
Speaker 1: points a game in the paint and a team in
Speaker 1: USC that allows the fewest points. It is the best
Speaker 1: two point percentage defensive team in basketball. That will be
Speaker 1: just kind of a game within the game that I
Speaker 1: think I'll be interesting to watch. So you think Kissberg's
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick instead of Kate Cunningham or
Speaker 1: I think I think Sugs is the whole Sugs. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: So Sugs number one pick and Mobley Cunningham in the
Speaker 1: mix there? Yeah, I think I would go I would
Speaker 1: go Cunningham second, I would go Moble third or fourth.
Speaker 1: Here's my concern with Mobley and I love him, and
Speaker 1: I love how hard he plays. I love the type
Speaker 1: of team. Maybe is I love Do you need to
Speaker 1: get that phone call? No? No, that's well, you know
Speaker 1: that sort of happens to the home office. I don't
Speaker 1: have a fancy studio like you now. I'm just sitting
Speaker 1: in my office. Jake the Wonder Dog cannot answer the phone.
Speaker 1: Is there anybody that you would stop the interview at
Speaker 1: two inswer like if Bill is called, would you answer no? No,
Speaker 1: I would actually ignore that. What I love to hear
Speaker 1: about is you know how the NCUBIS messed upon needs
Speaker 1: to go? I keep on telling Bills ever, it's so bad.
Speaker 1: Take the job. Everyone wants you to take the job.
Speaker 1: I said, it would solve two problems for me. Now, hey,
Speaker 1: Bills is the best. He's so much funny. He's so
Speaker 1: he's so funny that he doesn't even realize he's funny.
Speaker 1: Sometimes he's passionate, Yeah he is. And you know, everyone's
Speaker 1: got a cause and this is this is something that's
Speaker 1: important to him. But I think usc I wouldn't take
Speaker 1: Mobili ahead of Kate. I think the balls and Kate's
Speaker 1: County Hams. And now the one thing I don't Kate
Speaker 1: Connie Hams not the athlete. Grant Hill is a lot
Speaker 1: of people compare him to Grant Hill. I don't see
Speaker 1: that now. I do see a lot of Jason Kidd
Speaker 1: and Jail Sucks. That passing through his left hand off
Speaker 1: that ball screen yesterday was out of this world. I
Speaker 1: also love his toughness, I love his leadership. I think
Speaker 1: his game just translates immediately into the NBA where he
Speaker 1: could be a winning point guard. We're talking to Seth
Speaker 1: Greenberg from the Mother's Ship. Indiana hires Mike Woodson, not
Speaker 1: inspiring and coached in college I know there's you know,
Speaker 1: the legacy there being an IU player, But is Indiana Indiana?
Speaker 1: Does Indiana know that Indiana is Indiana anymore? No, I
Speaker 1: don't think they don't they I don't think they know
Speaker 1: they're not Indiana anymore because they haven't been Indiana basically,
Speaker 1: you know, since coach Night left. Really, if you look
Speaker 1: at terms of the consistency of competing for a national championship. Here,
Speaker 1: here's what I think Mike woods will have no problem
Speaker 1: coaching college basketball. Coaching xes and oh's putting guys a
Speaker 1: position to play to their strengths. The key is going
Speaker 1: to be and look that not as a nice move
Speaker 1: by the university. I don't know that's Mike Woodson's higher
Speaker 1: or the university's higher. Because it's the university's high, it's
Speaker 1: a bad move. Mike woos has got to have his
Speaker 1: own staff. Now. I would sit with Mike Woodson in
Speaker 1: the interview process and say, all right, coach, we have
Speaker 1: no concerns about you coaching, but there's a business of
Speaker 1: college basketball. You know. I don't know if he had
Speaker 1: kids that play grassroots basketball, but you better have someone
Speaker 1: who understands grassroots basketball. You better have someone who understands
Speaker 1: the transfer portal. You better have someone who understands just
Speaker 1: the day to day things you deal with as a
Speaker 1: college basketball coach. Now, Juana Howard, his sons were heavily recruited.
Speaker 1: He understood grassrooms basketball. He hired Phil Martelly to sit
Speaker 1: on his bench to kind of help him navigate. Not coaching.
Speaker 1: I mean because Latron hid think about the apprenticeship he spent, Spolstra, Riley,
Speaker 1: the coaches he played for. That's not going to be
Speaker 1: the issue. It's the day to day operation in dealing
Speaker 1: with the day to day static and minutia that goes
Speaker 1: around being a head coach in college. It's just different
Speaker 1: from the NBA. So I would in the interview process,
Speaker 1: I'd say, we got a guy to play for Night,
Speaker 1: we got a guy to one championship. We got a
Speaker 1: guy that we can galvanize a lot of the people
Speaker 1: that have him been here. Coaching is not going to
Speaker 1: be the issue. NBA pedigree, NBA coaching experience, all the
Speaker 1: things young players are looking for today, what's your staff
Speaker 1: going to look like? You're gonna have Fad Mountain and
Speaker 1: coach Modin is great, But handing him that guy to
Speaker 1: oversee him. He's a grown man, he's sixty three years old.
Speaker 1: He's coached the best players in the world. Do you
Speaker 1: want a over your shoulder basically, or do you want
Speaker 1: a guy that you chose to share this experience with
Speaker 1: at Indiana? So I think he'll hire a former NBA
Speaker 1: or a current NBA player development guy that wants to
Speaker 1: get in college. You would think he would hire another
Speaker 1: coach with college experience, probably have someone involved that has
Speaker 1: ties to the university. But you know, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: You're always good as the players recruit and your players develop,
Speaker 1: and part of recruiting is evaluation. I think Indiana is
Speaker 1: going to go back to evaluating players that can play
Speaker 1: and win. Like I thought that, like Matt Painter has
Speaker 1: figured it out. Now here's my question for everyone. What
Speaker 1: Matt Painter has done at Perdue. Is that good enough
Speaker 1: for Indiana? How they perceived themselves? Now? Yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think Indiana fast. I think they should be the
Speaker 1: final foot I think Indiana fans or no are similar
Speaker 1: even though they haven't had success to Kentucky. But since
Speaker 1: they see those bands and then they think that somehow
Speaker 1: they're entitled and it doesn't work. You know that this
Speaker 1: these kids don't go gosh. I would love to play
Speaker 1: for Indiana because whatever it's, that's not the way it works.
Speaker 1: It's what's the style, who's the coach, who's going in
Speaker 1: there with me? Do we have a chance to win?
Speaker 1: And they might be there for one year? But that's
Speaker 1: I just think that Indiana forgot who they were. And
Speaker 1: you know, I would have stayed with Tom Crean. Uh
Speaker 1: if you agree, you know, but you know, look, this
Speaker 1: is where they are. What about Texas? What's Texas going
Speaker 1: to do? What Shaka Smart? Did he jump before he
Speaker 1: was pushed? Yeah? I think he made the wise move up.
Speaker 1: Shaka Smart to me, wasn't as it developed, wasn't a
Speaker 1: good fit because Shaka Smart as a guy that lights
Speaker 1: up the room, Shaka Smarts. I got to coach this
Speaker 1: guy's hearts, Chaka Smarts, his DNA and the DNA of
Speaker 1: Texas in general just didn't fit. I think that he
Speaker 1: I think going back to Milwaukee, going back to his
Speaker 1: home state, going back to coaching the way he coached
Speaker 1: his VCU kids, going back to getting those type of
Speaker 1: kids at Texas. You got to recruit the best player
Speaker 1: in Texas. You gotta recruit the top five guys in
Speaker 1: the country. You got to recruit certain guys. Shaka Smart
Speaker 1: was better when he had Junkyard dogs. Shaka Smart was
Speaker 1: better when you know they had played with a chip
Speaker 1: on their shoulder. I never saw the Texas team play
Speaker 1: with the passion and the energy that his VCU teams
Speaker 1: played with. So I would like to see him go
Speaker 1: back to his kind of his roots, of what made
Speaker 1: him special as a coach. Now, guys that should take
Speaker 1: that job. Chris Beard's the number one guy. I go
Speaker 1: watch Chris's team's practice, I speak to his team. His
Speaker 1: energy is enthusiasm. But Chris beard situation and ownership in
Speaker 1: Lubbick might be far greater than the ownership of people
Speaker 1: in Austin. It's just a difference in the two communities.
Speaker 1: If I couldn't get Chris Beard, I would look at
Speaker 1: Eric Musselman. I would look at Bruce Pearl. I got
Speaker 1: all that money if up, and I'm getting those guys raises.
Speaker 1: But if I can get him, what do you need
Speaker 1: a Texas You need someone to excite your fan base.
Speaker 1: You need someone to create ownership. You need someone that
Speaker 1: understands the use of social media. You need someone that
Speaker 1: understands a playing style that people are going to be
Speaker 1: excited to come watch. I would get the highest energy
Speaker 1: winning coach that I can find that can infuse a
Speaker 1: passion and an energy into the program. Moving forward, when
Speaker 1: you were coaching, what's the best performance you ever saw
Speaker 1: in terms of my team or digitalty mess performance against us?
Speaker 1: The best performed well Handsborough Probably I wouldn't be talking
Speaker 1: to you right now if he didn't rebound a misshot
Speaker 1: on a free throw, and knock on anti end of
Speaker 1: the a SEC tournament. It's kind of personal to personal
Speaker 1: to me. But the best performance episodes though you Jerry
Speaker 1: Tarkanian's UNLV teams we played him two and three times
Speaker 1: a year. That was you know, Greg Anthony, Larry Johnson
Speaker 1: and Ankles and Anderson Hunt and Stacy Agman. They dominated
Speaker 1: the game, the speed that they played with. Offensively, defensively,
Speaker 1: they disrupted you, whether it was in their man with
Speaker 1: it didn't let you run offense or the amiba. One
Speaker 1: of my favorite great stories, the stupidity of Seth Greenberg
Speaker 1: and a lot of stories of the sty of Steth Greenberg,
Speaker 1: is my first year as a head coach. I had
Speaker 1: invited the president University of President President mccraig to sit
Speaker 1: on my bench for our first UNLV game. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: it wasn't a good thing. We were down thirty at
Speaker 1: the head games. I gave a great free game speech.
Speaker 1: He was all in it. He was right there with
Speaker 1: us down thirty at the half. First year head coach.
Speaker 1: I look at the end of the bench, We're down thirty.
Speaker 1: And not only did I know we were losing the game.
Speaker 1: I thought I was losing my job. But I survived that,
Speaker 1: thank goodness. But that UNLV team was just different offensively.
Speaker 1: This gonzag A team is just different. Will they be
Speaker 1: viewed as one of the great teams of all time
Speaker 1: if if they they run the schedule here? Yeah they should,
Speaker 1: because so a few teams have been able to do that,
Speaker 1: especially in recent history. Now people are gonna say, look,
Speaker 1: they played in West Coast Conference. People gonna say they
Speaker 1: are playing against a different group of players. I mean,
Speaker 1: think about I was talking to this conversation with Jay
Speaker 1: Well today. You know, Jay Wills do great duke teams
Speaker 1: are we're juniors and seniors. You know we have some
Speaker 1: good junior and senior teams, but the best teams in
Speaker 1: college basketball, or a lot of teams in college basketball
Speaker 1: are sophomore and freshmen driven. The college basketball has gotten
Speaker 1: younger now. Look Bill Nova won with upper classmen. Obviously,
Speaker 1: North Carolina of the Year they won one upper cosmen,
Speaker 1: and what looks like Gonzaga or Baylor or Michigan can
Speaker 1: win with upper classman. Yeah, you can win with upper classmen.
Speaker 1: But the very best dudes, the guys that you know
Speaker 1: are translating into the NBA and are killing in the
Speaker 1: NBA today. Those guys are all leaving before their junior years,
Speaker 1: so they're not playing against the same level. Yet. I
Speaker 1: look at this team offensively and it's just as a
Speaker 1: basketball purist, it's beautiful basketball. The flow that they have,
Speaker 1: they don't reset. It's modern day basketball. It's got a
Speaker 1: little European tint to it in terms of the stylistic
Speaker 1: but so does the NBA. Now it's positionalist basketball. The
Speaker 1: ball moves, it doesn't get stuck. They don't reset. You
Speaker 1: don't see a high ball screen with ten seconds left
Speaker 1: on the clock. It's transition boom. The ball's moving. There's
Speaker 1: great spacing, there's random screens, there's random on and off
Speaker 1: the ball. It's just there. They are different. I do
Speaker 1: think that Michigan's got a shot at them, and I
Speaker 1: do think that Baylor's got a shot at them. I
Speaker 1: think those two teams have the greatest because Baylor's got
Speaker 1: the best backcourt at college basketball. Seth, great to talk
Speaker 1: to you again, and good luck with billas. Okay, I
Speaker 1: have no pay Thank you bad. That's Seth Greenberg from
Speaker 1: the Mother's Ship. This interview brought you by Capitol One.
Speaker 1: What's in your wallet? We'll take a break. We'll give
Speaker 1: you our best and worst of the weekend right after this.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be
Speaker 1: sure to catch us live every weekday morning nine until
Speaker 1: noon eastern six to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio,
Speaker 1: and you can find us on the iHeartRadio app at
Speaker 1: FSR or stream us live on the Peacock app. He's
Speaker 1: now retired. He's now an analyst. He's a broadcaster. He's
Speaker 1: Drew Brees who joined us on joins us on a program,
Speaker 1: Good morning, Drew. How are you? Damn? I'm good man,
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm good? You're an analyst? Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess that's the first time I've I've been introduced
Speaker 1: that way. So I just got to let that sink
Speaker 1: in for a second. But former quarterback, that's weird. I don't.
Speaker 1: I actually think the I think the transition is pretty natural,
Speaker 1: you know. I think that you know, you play, you
Speaker 1: play long enough, which man, I had the chance to
Speaker 1: play twenty years right quarterback in the National Football League,
Speaker 1: never in mid Wiless dreams, So I think I'd have
Speaker 1: that opportunity certing the opportunity to play that long. But um,
Speaker 1: you know, you basically go from the way that you
Speaker 1: prepare for a game and then actually go out and
Speaker 1: execute that plan as a quarterback, and you now transition
Speaker 1: into a position where you're basically doing the same thing,
Speaker 1: but you're just instead of actually doing it, you're just
Speaker 1: you're talking about it, you're describing it. You're still you're
Speaker 1: still studying film the same way. You're still anticipating what's
Speaker 1: going to happen, you know, based on what you're watching.
Speaker 1: And I think at the end of the day, this
Speaker 1: is a really fun opportunity, a great opportunity for me
Speaker 1: to just show my love and passion for the game
Speaker 1: of football in a different way and maybe a way
Speaker 1: that connects with fans even more. From the perspect that.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I want to make it fun.
Speaker 1: I want to make it educational. UM and and exciting.
Speaker 1: All right, let me let me give you your first
Speaker 1: question as an analyst. Who should be the starter at
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Saints? You know what, it'll be interesting. UM.
Speaker 1: I think however, that you know, competition U is kind
Speaker 1: of laid out or plays out. Um. I think both
Speaker 1: those guys you don't have some unique skill sets. UM.
Speaker 1: I'd say, obviously Jamis and Taysom are different styles of quarterback. UM.
Speaker 1: And whatever offense is run, I think you you know,
Speaker 1: just like you would do for any quarterback. You you
Speaker 1: make the adjustments within the framework of the offense to
Speaker 1: fit the skill set that you're dealing with. You know,
Speaker 1: I will never let you get by if I was
Speaker 1: on Football Night in America with that answer. Well, I've
Speaker 1: got I really like both those guys. I think they
Speaker 1: both have the ability to be really good NFL quarterbacks
Speaker 1: and so then it's just a matter of, Hey, they
Speaker 1: just happened to be in the same place right now,
Speaker 1: you know, so we'll see how it plays out. But
Speaker 1: Taysom has proven he can win games. I think Jamis,
Speaker 1: you know, leaving camp are coming to us spending a
Speaker 1: year in our system. I think he's developed a new
Speaker 1: level of confidence and ability to run our system. So
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see. Did you realize the impact
Speaker 1: you had on Jamis because he got really emotional when
Speaker 1: he was asked about, you know, being there in New
Speaker 1: Orleans with you. Yeah, you know that was man, that
Speaker 1: was humbling. We had a great QB room man. We
Speaker 1: had a lot of fun together. I always took it
Speaker 1: as a great responsibility to help help young guys, help
Speaker 1: help the guys that we're in our room. I know
Speaker 1: that some guys maybe take a different approach, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe they look at it as this is the guy
Speaker 1: who's coming in trying to take my and so I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not going to extend any help or advice
Speaker 1: or guidance. Um. I took a very different approach because
Speaker 1: I knew how many veteran quarterbacks as I was coming
Speaker 1: up helped me and mentored me. And I can't tell
Speaker 1: you how much confidence that gave me and really how
Speaker 1: that helped guide me through through my early years. You know,
Speaker 1: when I when I had some struggles, and so I've
Speaker 1: always kind of made it a commitment that if any
Speaker 1: young quarterback reached out to me or was in my
Speaker 1: room with the Saints, man I was, I was going
Speaker 1: to do everything I could to help them be the
Speaker 1: best that they could be. And I did. I tried
Speaker 1: to do that for Jamis. Yeah, your first game, you
Speaker 1: came in and replaced Doug Flutie. I believe right, yep,
Speaker 1: who was that Drew Breese back then? How different is
Speaker 1: he than this Drew Breeze? Now? Oh, man, light years
Speaker 1: You know you don't what's amazing thing to me? Now?
Speaker 1: I mean I've watched our offense evolved right with the
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints from two thousand and six until now,
Speaker 1: you know, so fifteen years of evolution. I mean, is
Speaker 1: it is the complexities of what we are doing now
Speaker 1: are light years different than back then my first year
Speaker 1: with the in the Saints offense, Like I went back
Speaker 1: and looked at a call sheet from our very first
Speaker 1: game against the Cleveland Browns in two thousand and six.
Speaker 1: Give give give me an example here of what the
Speaker 1: call would have been back then. Well, so, for example,
Speaker 1: like the most basic formation, the most basic protection, the
Speaker 1: most basic play concept, gun read right twenty four scan
Speaker 1: why Flutie. And by the way, that why Flutie. That's
Speaker 1: a concept that everybody in the NFL runs, But when
Speaker 1: I was with the Chargers, it was one of Doug
Speaker 1: Flutie's favorite play. So we nicknamed it Flutie because we
Speaker 1: were starting to transition to some no huddle stuff and
Speaker 1: we needed code words, so we code worded a concept flutie,
Speaker 1: and we were the first ones to do that because
Speaker 1: Doug Flutie was on our team. Well, then you have
Speaker 1: coaches that end up going to different places, you know,
Speaker 1: from there and taking that terminology. So I'd be willing
Speaker 1: to bet there's probably about sixty eight teams in the
Speaker 1: league that actually run flutie and call it flutie, so plenty.
Speaker 1: How those things just kind of spread. Give me the
Speaker 1: most complicated call you ever had. Well, so it'd be like,
Speaker 1: all right, so boogie the green left slot. Let's go
Speaker 1: ex short tight past thirty seven, buster, nudge, why footie,
Speaker 1: sting z spear kill fifty three tight and left. So like,
Speaker 1: the terminology can be endless, you know. And here's the
Speaker 1: worst part is that, so that's that play call, and
Speaker 1: now you're in allowed state, and let's say the headset
Speaker 1: cuts off after the coach says, we'll get a green
Speaker 1: left right, Like, you don't realize how often that stuff happens,
Speaker 1: you know, And or then play cocks going down and
Speaker 1: you just have to men, you are like thinking on
Speaker 1: the fly. You're having to just pick up, you know,
Speaker 1: bits and pieces and put it all together. And oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, maybe it's a different personnel group in
Speaker 1: the huddle. You know, that was a such a specific thing.
Speaker 1: And somebody you know, tweaked an ankle and now they're
Speaker 1: on the sideline and other guy's any you're getting team
Speaker 1: coached up on what his split is. It's a minus
Speaker 1: two split. It's not an outside edge split. Man. There's
Speaker 1: so much stuff is happening and so fast that man,
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of a free for all at times.
Speaker 1: But man, that's that's what you love about the game.
Speaker 1: It's what makes it fun and exciting. Never a dull moment.
Speaker 1: What'd you keep from your last game? What's my what?
Speaker 1: What did you keep from your last game? What did
Speaker 1: I keep? Yeah, uniform everything, the memories, memories of my
Speaker 1: kids on the field after the game probably was the
Speaker 1: most significant part of that. UM so nothing nothing, um tangible,
Speaker 1: you know, from like a jersey or cleats or anything
Speaker 1: like that. It was I mean, listen, you don't It's
Speaker 1: not like you just wake up one day and say, oh,
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna retire today, you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's a that's a process. Yeah, that's a couple
Speaker 1: of year process that you begin thinking about how how
Speaker 1: that's going to happen. And you knew before that game
Speaker 1: started if you lose to the Buccaneers that that's your
Speaker 1: last game. Well, I knew it was my last home game,
Speaker 1: you know, because we were going to go on the
Speaker 1: road and play in the playoffs and you know, the
Speaker 1: Packers and then hopefully onto the super Bowl. But um
Speaker 1: so I knew it was my last home game. You know.
Speaker 1: There's several significance with that. Anyone, you didn't want to
Speaker 1: you didn't want to leave the field. Though. With Brady,
Speaker 1: did it help in any way that you if you're
Speaker 1: going to lose a game, you lose to Brady or
Speaker 1: is that the last person you want to lose too? Well, didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to lose period, you know. I mean
Speaker 1: considering that you're playing against a guy like him who
Speaker 1: I have a great relationship with and you know, we
Speaker 1: go way back. You know, we played against each other
Speaker 1: in college, right, and so we've kind of been on
Speaker 1: this journey, you know, uh together in a lot of ways.
Speaker 1: You know, we've kind of shared one of the same mentors. Um. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, just a ton of respect, you know. I know,
Speaker 1: I think I think any any quarterback in the in
Speaker 1: the NFL, um, only only those guys can can really
Speaker 1: understand what it takes to play that position and all
Speaker 1: the preparation and the just the time and the attention
Speaker 1: to detail on the headspace that that that that takes up, um,
Speaker 1: you know, during the course of a season. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's I've had the chance to play against
Speaker 1: them a lot of times, three times this year, you know,
Speaker 1: so that we've got a great relationship, and obviously we
Speaker 1: know what kind of the player he is. Drew Joins
Speaker 1: is on behalf of a Copper compression, the number one
Speaker 1: best seller on Amazon in the personal care category. Are
Speaker 1: you gonna be in the backyard throwing footballs with uh
Speaker 1: fellow Hall of famers here soon? Yeah? Are you on
Speaker 1: the other team? Because far gets Jerry Rice and I'd
Speaker 1: never understood that, like that's not fair. I was I
Speaker 1: was gonna say, this would be like the uh, you know,
Speaker 1: the Battle of the Battle of the copper compression products,
Speaker 1: you know. But I just I need to go choose.
Speaker 1: I need to go choose my receiver. He chose Jerry Rice.
Speaker 1: That's a that's a pretty good one. Um, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna have tryouts. I'm gonna conduct the
Speaker 1: copper compression tryouts. I'm gonna I'm gonna pull I'm gonna
Speaker 1: pull some guys, you know, pull some guys out of
Speaker 1: their living rooms and have a combine. Have a comb combine.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Yeah, going to be like a
Speaker 1: mini combine. I got to choose my wide receiver, um
Speaker 1: from from History to take on Brett Farve and uh
Speaker 1: and Jerry Rice and then and then and then the
Speaker 1: random guys that are you know, just in the park. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know Tom from UPS is out there that I
Speaker 1: feel bad for him. Tom from Ups is out there
Speaker 1: trying to cover Jerry Rice. I mean it's just not fair. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, you just takeaway the inside. That's that's
Speaker 1: what I would do. That's just takeaway this sli and
Speaker 1: and then have somebody player with the top. Uh can
Speaker 1: you how many broken ribs did you have? And they
Speaker 1: are they all healed? Now? Yeah, I believe they're all healed.
Speaker 1: I had I had eleven. I had eight on the
Speaker 1: left side, three on the right. Um. But I didn't
Speaker 1: even know you had that many ribbs. I didn't either.
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't know either. Yeah. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: that was that was. That was a crazy deal. I
Speaker 1: obviously never never felt anything like that, and yet at
Speaker 1: the same time, it wasn't. Um. I mean, it sounds crazy.
Speaker 1: You're your mindset is such that, man, nothing's going to
Speaker 1: take you off the field, you know, so, so you
Speaker 1: don't even you don't even recognize the severity of anything
Speaker 1: because you're just you're pushing through. You're pushing through. And
Speaker 1: the eighth that I fractured on the left side were
Speaker 1: in the Tampa the first Tampa game and not the
Speaker 1: first Tampa game. The second Campa game was the Sunday
Speaker 1: night game at Tampa. Second quarter, I kind of get
Speaker 1: slammed the ground on the left side, and I knew
Speaker 1: something was wrong. I mean, it was a feeling I
Speaker 1: hadn't had, you know, the wind gets knocked out of you.
Speaker 1: That happens a lot, but all of a sudden, I
Speaker 1: felt like, man, I'm having trouble breathing. I can't rotate.
Speaker 1: I had a hard time throwing the ball in the
Speaker 1: second half of that game. I mean it was functional,
Speaker 1: we got the job done, but um, you know, we
Speaker 1: win that game big, and but I know something's wrong.
Speaker 1: I wake up the next day, go to MRI. I
Speaker 1: got all these broken ribs, and it's like, all right, well,
Speaker 1: let's just find a way to get to Sunday. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's really the saying amongst all NFL players, you know,
Speaker 1: find find a way to get to the next game,
Speaker 1: you know. And so man training room rehabbed. I didn't
Speaker 1: practice much that week. I just tried to get ready
Speaker 1: to practice on Friday that week, just and I was
Speaker 1: in I was in so much pain on Friday, and
Speaker 1: so I was like, God, I don't know how I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do this. And so it got out on Sunday,
Speaker 1: and you felt actually decent going into that next game,
Speaker 1: which was against the Niners. And then sure enough, in
Speaker 1: the second quarter of that game, I get thrown down
Speaker 1: on the other side. And that's what fact of the
Speaker 1: three ribs and then punctured along and that was So
Speaker 1: it's one thing to have to have all that going
Speaker 1: on on one side of your body, but then to
Speaker 1: have it on both sides. The problem at that point
Speaker 1: was as that game progressed. I mean, I finished the
Speaker 1: half and we took the lead, and I felt like
Speaker 1: we had the game in hand. But when you sit
Speaker 1: at halftime for twenty five minutes and then come back
Speaker 1: out and I couldn't rotate, I couldn't do anything. So
Speaker 1: I basually went to Seawan and like, man, I can
Speaker 1: throw the ball like fifteen yards right now. That's about it. So,
Speaker 1: you know, I think in my mind too, I was thinking,
Speaker 1: all right, I know this is going to put me
Speaker 1: out for a period of time. I could go out
Speaker 1: there and make this thing work, or I could just
Speaker 1: shut it down. Let's win this game, which I felt
Speaker 1: like we would anyway, and then try to make it
Speaker 1: back as quick as I could. Well, you don't have
Speaker 1: to worry about that now. I don't think if you
Speaker 1: get any kind of rib damage, it'll be just from
Speaker 1: your kids hugging hugging you, right, The only ribs will
Speaker 1: be on the trigger. Girl, that's exactly right. It's the
Speaker 1: only ribbed I'm worried about right now. And how I'm
Speaker 1: seasoning those babies before I smoke them. Hey, h congrats,
Speaker 1: good luck with copper Compression, the number one best seller
Speaker 1: on Amazon in the personal care category. Play nice with
Speaker 1: Brett Farvan Company, and then, uh, good luck on football
Speaker 1: night in America. That's right, Copper Compression is gonna help
Speaker 1: keep me young. I can sling it around in the
Speaker 1: yard of these these these future Hall of famers I
